HEATHCOAT will want to arrest their slide down the table when they meet Paignton at Knightshayes.
Four defeats on the trot, most recently at the hands of Sidmouth, have dropped Heathcoat from second from top to fourth from bottom.
Paignton’s form since returning to the Premier Division has been mixed – a win over Sidmouth is the highlight – but they ran Torquay close last time out and have to be respected.
Skipper Sam Smith and Ned Menheneott return to the side after missing the defeat by Sidmouth.
Steve Harding is missing, but Dylan Penberthy makes a welcome return.
“Dylan as fully recovered from a shoulder problem so is back bowling for us to make the attack that little bit stronger for a massive game,” said vice-captain Toby Lochead.
Paignton bring in left-hander Mike Cousens for his first game of the season.
The University of Exeter student played last season but has been unavailable for the Queens Park outfit until now.
